There’s an excellent tune with remarkable chords where this works especially well. Try ‘Virtual Insanity’ by Jamiroquai. The chord progression for the verse is: Eb–7, Ab 7, Db9, Gb maj 7, C half dim, B maj 7, Bb7#5, Bb 7 and back to the one chord (Eb–7).
Sweet! I’ll check that out! Always looking for new songs 👌🏾
Thanx a lot for that lovely progression! Fantastic song, in my opinion!
This is a nice exercise. I will give this a go, this week. Frankly, I am just relieved I still know my way around this instrument!
Glad you’re still posting this content – and keeping it challenging!
And if I would practice scales and arpeggios, this would be so much easier to pick up…. (Correct finger patterns)… but the way you’ve taught it is very clear…
Will let you know how I get on with it. 🙂
Please do! Would love to hear and see how you’re doing
